I started teaching in 1995, and during that time, I have worked with children of all ages in a variety of settings.

I have been a class teacher at Lea since 2017. I currently teach Willow Class, which is a mixed age group of Reception and Year 1 children.

Lea and Gorsley have provided the best start in life for all five of my children; and have helped them all to become well-rounded, caring, ambitious young people. I feel very privileged to work at Lea and I hope that through my role as staff governor, I can help to ensure that the Gateway Federation continues to provide nurturing, inspiring learning environments that enable all of its pupils to not only achieve their academic potential, but also to know the importance of kindness and compassion; and to remember that in our world, “everyone counts.”
